We had a relaxing morning and then went to The Plough and Feather in the Kerikeri Basin Reserve for lunch. It’s a lovely quiet spot. Whilst there we had a look around The Old Stone Store, Kemp House and Gardens, Te Waimate Mission House and Te Ahurea which is a reconstruction of a fishing village.

We were going to walk from there to The Rainbow Falls but given the hot weather, we decided to drive up to The Falls and did the walk from the Public Car Park to The Rainbow Falls and also on to the Fairy Pools. Once we got to The Fairy Pools there were notices preventing us from swimming so we backtracked to The Rainbow Falls and had a great swim.
